Part 3: Customizations (Theme, Harmony Hub, Spotify)

Playing with Harmony Hub and had to re-add my SharpTV. Realized I needed to turn off all CEC functionality to properly allow Harmony to turn on and off each individual hardware.

Incorporate Harmony Hub into Hass.IO.

Realized a file is created in Hass.IO called “harmony_harmony_hub.conf” this includes all the details of what I need to incorporate into Hass.IO for the switches, commands, and automatinos. Since I had to change some of the harmony additions, I had to delete this file and restart Home Assistant to get the file to refresh.

Only issue is I can’t figure out how to get the podcast functionality to work.

Final Update – Realized the this component addition is broken where the source audio is not being remembered. There is no way to cast music to an idle spotify to get this triggered. I have turned off the playlist functionality until this can be fixed.
